Thank you for your response.

I just want to clarify again. The research I'm doing only needs household level data for each child. Therefore, I think that it was okay for me to use the HR file since household level data should not change between the people in the household including the child. For example, if one household had 10 members and two were children, the 10 members should have the same household level data. The two children should also have the same information. Therefore, the issue with the PR file not having b16 should not be a problem. Please let me know what you think.

Also, I did not have problems merging the KR file with the HR file. The problem only arises when I merged it (the merged file of KR & HR) with the WI file.
